i just reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows 2000 pro. This wasn't the version of windows i originally had and now i find i have no sound at all and my WMP is not functioning properly i jsut get green shadowy shapes when i try to play video.
View 6 RepliesI just reformatted my computer and now I have no sound. In my device manager it says there is a conflict with my 'Multimedia Audio Controller'. I don't have any drivers. Is there something I can use to find out what I need or even a known driver I can install. I tried to install somethihng called'Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver' but that doesn't work and it keeps giving me a warning that it "has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP."
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe computer is a Dell Inspiron 8500 Notebook, running Windows XP SP2.I reformatted my hard drive recently and reinstalled XP. The sound worked fine before the reinstall, and not at all afterwards. Everything else seems fine. Thinking the problem was certainly a driver issue, I downloaded the latest relevant sound drivers from Dell. No dice. Called tech support - the representative took over my computer and, as I watched, did the same thing I had just done: not surprisingly, no dice again. He then told me that buying a PCMCIA sound card would certainly, "no doubt about it" fix the problem. I did so: a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS. No dice. With both my internal sound card and the PCMCIA, in the Device Manager I get a yellow exclamation: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)." This is bollocks, since I (and the Dell guy) successfully installed the (AC97) driver several times, and I did the same thing with the PCMCIA card. Dismay and frustration were again the only results. After reading some forums, I found and installed the latest chipset drivers from Intel (the 845MP chipset), thinking that this might be the problem: again, no dice. I hate to ask for your time, tech gods, but I am all out of options. My knowledge has reached its limit and I can turn only to you in my hour of need. Please help. SOS.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI started out with Windows XP home of my wifes computer. I got a Trojan that I could not get rid of so I scrubbed my hard drive and have upgraded to XP Pro. After having done that I no longer have any sound. I have scrubbed a few hard drives in my day and knew this would happen. So I went through the process of going to the companies website and did some looking for the drivers and found them. Downloaded them and said they couldn't find the sound card. I have an onboard sound card that came in our HP Pavilion a1050y. I believe the chipset to be Intel 915G, that is what the Intel chipset identifier told me no more than half an hour ago. But anyway, this has been going on for 2 days now. I have gone into the BIOS and enabled it and reset the settings and enabled it again. I have downloaded Drivers for 3 different Sound Cards that I was told it could be. I went on to HP's website and went through their instructions, and I have tried everything I can think of. The only other thing that I can see being a problem is that the Drivers CD doesn't seem to want to load, but I don't know what that would have to do with the my onboard sound not being recognized. I am to the point of getting ready to buy a new soundcard. I don't really know where to go.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can play an DVD movie and the video works fine but I have no audio. I can play an music cd and the sound works fine. I tries it in media player and nero. Media player is a pain half the time it won't play an movie because of some rights problem. The movies are legal out of the store. I use to run a audio cable from the cd and dvd's to the motherboard in the old days, but haven't in a while because the audio would work either way. This is new MSI board with on board audio and works fine with music cd's but no audio on video's. I did get sound to work with movies but only after installing WinDVD7. I noticed that it installed a DVD Audio driver. Why don't the other programs have that like Media player, nero, realplayer. I thought that a fresh install and update of XP would have all the drivers for DVD as long as we have been using them
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am really hoping that one or a few of you can help me with my issue. Back in June, I reinstalled Windows XP Professional on my computer. Previously, the PC kept freezing, saying Windows Explorer error, etc. Unable to do any work at all on my computer without it freezing, I reinstalled Windows. Problems solved. Except now, since then, I have had no sound at all coming from my speakers! I am missing the audio drivers, I think. Finally, yesterday, I downloaded Realtec AC 97... and now I can hear things opened on Quicktime from the internet, but cannot hear any sounds from websites or other programs I have on my computer. The little speaker control, that is usually displayed permanently in the right hand corner of the Windows toolbar, doesn't show up. I still have Volume Control on my computer...but of course cannot hear anything.Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I've tried unplugging the speakers and then plugging them back in to no avail. I don't think I have the installation CD for the speakers anymore, as I got them a few years ago. But if I did have them, is that how the drivers would be reinstalled?

View 13 Replies View RelatedJust bought a Canon ZR200 camcorder. When I connect it to my PC using either the fire wire or USB connections, and commence video capture using either WinDVD Creator (Version 2.0B014.183C2W) or Nero Vision Express 2, I get lots of audio breakup as the video is being captured and during playback in the editing function. When I use Movie Maker, I do not get the audio breakup (unfortunately MM doesn't allow me to create DVDs).I defragged my HD with no effect. Later this week, my brother will be bringing his Sony camcorder so I can see if I get the same results using the same tapes. In the meantime, does anyone have any idea why this is happening? What's frustrating is that I did not have this problem when using the same PC, software and a DAC-100 capture device connected to a VCR.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLast year I purchased a new digital Sony video recorder (TRV245E) and together with a quite new PC (operated by OS Windows XP Pro) and the software which came together with the Sony video on an installation CD the recorder works properly together with the PC. This year at first I explored this Sony's interface programe more deeply and there I've got the problem:The software program is: ImageMixer ver 1.5 for Sony made by Pixela.Connection cable between camera and my PC: USB cable.I know that the USB port on my computer is version 2.0.The software creates .mpg or .avi files. Hence I should use ordinary CD-R, not DVD. Problem: The ImageMixer interface program never delivers any sound, neither to the new created file nor when only exploring the video tape on my PC.

The only problem is, I don't have the driver CD anymore. when I try to find out what my video/sound cards are I draw a blank because they don't seem to be displayed anywhere (display properties/settings/advanced/adapter). All adapter type and adapter information are all I know my video card is ATI but that's all I know and as for the sound card - I haven't a clue what make that is. I've been on the ATI website but there are so many drivers I don't know which one to download/install.

I installed a new video card and when I started the computer up, I have no sound at all. Please help, I have all these games, and no sound! Its a brand new computer system setup for my little brother, and he can't even use it He's all bummed out, and if someone could help it'd be GREAT! The computer is a Gateway - and I looked through BIOS, and didn't see anything about disabling/enabling the onboard sound.

View 11 Replies View RelatedTry removing the card and see if you have the sound back. Se if you have sound with just the video card installed without its drivers. If same issue on Xp, Vista, the most probabily the card is not supported on the computer.Try a clean reinstallation after installing the video card.
View 1 Replies View Relatedit seems that you are my last hope. it is really crazy and i am almost thinking about just throwing this whole pc out and maybe buying a macbook instead as soon as i got money .i need my laptop (acer travelmate 292, 1.5ghz, 512 MB, insyde software csu bios ver 1.30) for producing music.i do have an external usb soundcard (edirol ua-25) but windows is just driving me nuts.even by only playing one simple MP3 file in winamp (or just having the windows-starting sound during the boot process) and without running any other software, the sound cracks, skips and jerks around. and that with already assigning the buffer size to "very large". if i chose "very small or medium" it would take me probably 10 seconds to play a 3 second mp3 file.i don't think, it is the sound card mainly, since i tried the onboard realtek soundcard stand alone as well and it is almost as bad. it must be something with windows. i already tried de-installing everything else on the computer, running registry cleaners and virus scanners, etc. - and there was one more tip, saying to "give priority to background processes" or something, but it still doesn't work.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen looking at a webpage with an embedded avi, the avi d/l's, then only sound plays.When I attempt to view the file in the temp internet files folder, it only plays sound, and properties (in media player) says audio file. When I copy the same file to another folder (somewhere outside temp int folder) and play the file, it plays the audio and video like it should (and properties in media player says audio video).What gives? I've checked in the browser settings and its set to play videos on webpages, and I've tried checking play by extension (as opposed to content) as well. The media player is only 9 (yes, I'll upgrade), but I know that's not the problem because I've looked at the same site with a different computer (but not xp) and it works fine.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just put a hard drive in this HP and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Home. The only sound I can get is from Windows media player, no system sound at all! I have done microsoft update and installed realtek drivers and nothing happens after they install. Also all the options are faded so you cant test or change them. The video is the same way, I cant even change themes, The propeties button does nothing when you click on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a very strange problem with my computer. I can normally solve most things on my own, but this one is just stumping me. All of my drivers are up to date.This problem is VERY hard to explain using words - so please listen to the attached audio files.The problem is that I cannot really play ANY audio. WHenever I do, it is VERY slow, stuttery and crackly, and often times the pitch of the audio even goes down, as though the processor were trying to.. catch up to the audio. I have recorded a few samples as well. This problem is also affecting the video sometimes, and others not, by producing incredibly stuttery video. Sometimes if I play it for long enough (30 seconds) the sound and video in a movie (mpg, avi doesn't matter) will completely just stop and freeze.I have NO idea what is going on, and it happens whether I use the soundblaster card or the onboard audio.
I have taken everything off my startup msconfig, save microsoft services and AIM, so nothing else is running, and I have scanned for spyware, virus, and the like. Now I"m not sure if these two files will play like they do on my computer - I used winamp/windows media player/itunes all to play these two versions of a Jewel song, and then used sound recorder to record them with my wave out as the record input. Of course, when I play them back, they sound horrible, with all the crackling, stuttering, and lag of the original playback, so I THINK it will sound as bad for someone who listens to this file.
I have been having this problem for a couple of days now. I was listening to music which had been skipping for a while but not to bad and suddenly everything froze. i killed winamp and hit pulled up the task mgr. cpu usage was staying around 100% different processes popping up to the top. i downloaded process explorer and it has a file highlighted in dark red wmiprvse.exe i read this could be a virus but i verifed it was in the correct folder. im running win xp media center edition with sp3. while looking at processes in the task mgr the system idle process is usually at the top of the list. my computer pretty much freezes up every few seconds now for a second or 2 and whenever i open any program it freezes up for a good minute or 2. Anything else ya'll might need to know feel free to ask. is there a way i could check if it is a hardware problem? this is a Hp pavillion laptop amd turion 1.99ghz 2gb ram. i have also tweaked xp to run faster by removing the themes among other things. I think thats the only thing saving me right now.
